Podcast Summary: The Rosary in a Year (with Fr. Mark-Mary Ames)

Episode: Day 336: The Sorrowful Mysteries
Date: December 2, 2025
Host: Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, CFR (Ascension)

Overview

This episode marks a significant milestone in the "Rosary in a Year" journey—Day 336—as Fr. Mark-Mary guides listeners through the Sorrowful Mysteries. With only a month left in the year-long program, this episode inaugurates “Phase 6,” the final phase, which re-integrates short meditative prompts for each Mystery. Fr. Mark-Mary encourages the community to deepen their contemplative prayer life, meditate on the suffering of Christ, and enter more fully into union with Jesus and Mary. The episode’s tone is gentle, pastoral, and deeply reverent, inviting listeners not just to say the Rosary, but to enter into its mysteries with their hearts.

Key Discussion Points and Prayers

Announcing Phase 6 and Adjustments (00:59–02:51)

Reflections on the Journey: Fr. Mark-Mary expresses gratitude and shares how moved he has been hearing from listeners who pray with him daily, either in the morning or at night.
New Phase 6 Format:
- Short Meditations Return: “We're going to add just a kind of little sentence or two with each of the Mysteries to help encourage and offer a direction for our meditation.” (01:32)
- Aligning Mysteries to Weekdays: From now on, the day’s mysteries will match the traditional days of the week (e.g., Sorrowful on Tuesdays and Fridays).
- Full Rosary Structure: Moving to pray the entire Rosary with both opening and closing prayers.

Opening Prayers (02:51–05:04)

Apostles’ Creed, Our Father, and Hail Marys are recited for faith, hope, and charity.
Intention: For the Holy Father's health and intentions.

The Sorrowful Mysteries Meditation and Prayer

1. The Agony in the Garden (05:04–09:02)

Meditation Prompt: Reflect on Jesus’ perseverance in prayer during distress.
Quote: "Even in this moment of stress and of great sorrow, He stays in dialogue with the Father, beginning his prayer again and again and again." (05:19)
Intention: Ask for grace to remain in dialogue with God even in our agony.
Memorable Phrase (as Jesus prayed): "My Father. My Father. My Father." (05:26)
Decade Prayed.

2. The Scourging at the Pillar (09:02–13:11)

Meditation Prompt: Inspired by St. Faustina’s mystical vision—be present with Jesus in His pain.
Quote: "Let us be the one who receives the gift, who remained with Him with love as He is scourged for our sins." (09:48)
Intention: Offer heartfelt gratitude for Christ’s suffering and love.
Decade Prayed.

3. The Crowning with Thorns (13:11–17:44)

Meditation Prompt: Reference to Titian’s painting—a reflection on rendering unto God.
Quote: "Are we rendering to God what is God's, and to Caesar what is Caesar's?" (13:48)
Challenge: Instead of crowning Christ with thorns of sin, crown Him with love, affection, and obedience.
Decade Prayed.

4. The Carrying of the Cross (17:44–22:26)

Meditation Prompt: Consider Simon of Cyrene, compelled to carry the cross.
Quote: "Was he going to just do it, constantly, exclusively, with resentment…or would he receive it with a certain openness, a certain surrender…?" (18:00)
Intention: Ask for openness so our own crosses draw us into deeper intimacy with Jesus.
Decade Prayed.

5. The Crucifixion (22:26–27:18)

Meditation Prompt: Contemplate Christ’s cry from the Cross ("My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?") and unite all human suffering to His.
Quote (on Christ’s cry): "He takes all of our anguish, all of our suffering, all of our experience of a silence from God upon himself. And he makes this cry to the Father, but also with the absolute and certain confidence that he is heard by God." (23:16)
Encouragement: “Whatever struggles or suffering you may be facing right now, let's find consolation and hope in Christ's cry to the Father.” (23:59)
Decade Prayed.

Closing Prayers (27:18–28:47)

Customary prayers: Hail, Holy Queen; Prayer for the promises of Christ.
Final blessing: “All right. Thanks, everyone, for joining me and praying with me today. I look forward to continuing this journey with you again tomorrow.” (28:43)
Farewell in Fr. Mark-Mary’s characteristic style: “Poco a poco, friends. God bless you all.” (28:47)

[00:58]
Prayer Leader
Hey everybody.
[00:59]
Father Mike
So you've made it. You've made it to Phase six, the final phase of our Rosary in a Year journey. And I as I'm going out and about and meeting folks who are doing Rosary in a Year, I'm I've been really particularly moved, especially kind of in phases four and five, to hearing people who are saying, hey Father, you know, you're the first thing I'm doing in the morning waking up and praying with you or Father, the last thing I'm doing at night is, you know, praying, praying with you. And I love because right, you know, this last phase, it's really just been praying together. And we're make two slight adjustments as we go into phase six, which are going to break from the pattern that's been established previously. And the first is this is while I'm grateful and moved by those who have been praying with me through this last phase, there's also been just some encouragement and feedback that folks were missing some of the little meditations. And so we're going to add just a kind of little sentence or two with each of the Mysteries to help encourage and offer a direction for our meditation during the different Mysteries. Instead of moving through the pattern of the Mysteries from joyful, luminous, sorrowful glories back to joyful and kind of going through that, we're going to kind of move to the current sort of traditional format of praying the Joyful Mysteries on Mondays and Saturdays, the Sorrowful Mysteries on Tuesdays and Fridays, the Luminous Mysteries on Thursdays and Then the glorious mysteries on Wednesdays and Sundays. And so we've lined up, you know, the days with the day of the week. They're scheduled to come out, and we're going to pick and pray the mysteries which correspond to that day of the week. The last adjustment is that now we're moving from praying five decades to praying the whole rosary with the opening and then closing prayers of the rosary. So let us begin. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

He descended to hell. On the third day, he rose again from the dead and he ascended into heaven and. And is seated at the right hand.

Father Mike
Today we will be praying the sorrowful Mysteries. The first sorrowful mystery is the agony in the garden. As we pray this decade, we can meditate on Jesus prayer in the garden. Even in this moment of stress. And of great sorrow, he stays in dialogue with the Father, beginning his prayer again and again and again.
[05:27]
Congregation

Let us ask for the grace to stay in this dialogue with the Father. Throughout the agonies we may encounter.

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell and lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy. The second sorrowful mystery is the scourging at the pillar. Let us call to mind Saint Faustina's vision of the scourging of our Lord, where Jesus asked her to be the one who mourns for him in this decade. Let us lean into that, bearing witness to our Lord's pain and telling him how grateful we are for his love for us. As we pray today, let us be the one who receives the gift, who remained with him with love as he is scourged for our sins. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Let's call to mind our reflection on Titian's painting Christ crowned with thorns and witness a new Christ, suffering as he is crowned under the unaffected gaze of a statue of Caesar. Are we rendering to God was God's, and to Caesar what is Caesar's? Can we move to ask what Jesus is asking of us today and how we can give homage and adoration and crown our king with love and affection and obedience today, instead of the thorns of sin and selfishness and apathy? Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell and lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy. The fourth sorrowful mystery is the carrying of the cross. As Jesus carried his cross, the Gospel tells us that a man named Simon was compelled to carry Jesus cross. In that moment, Simon was given a decision. He was going to have to carry the cross. But was he going to just do it constantly, exclusively, with resentment, with the door closed to this potentially bearing any fruit in his life? Or would he receive it with a certain openness, a certain surrender, and for us a certain knowledge that through grace this can bring us into intimate contact With Jesus. Today, as we take up our cross, or as the world throws many crosses upon us, can we ask for the grace of the Holy Spirit to be open to God using these crosses and be open to them being means and bringing us even more intimately into contact with our Lord? Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell and lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy. The fifth sorrowful mystery is the crucifixion. Let's take a moment and call to mind Jesus words on the cross, citing Psalm 22. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Recognizing, as Pope Benedict XVI points out, that Jesus is bringing the cry of every suffering person to the Father.
[23:16]
Prayer Leader
He.
[23:16]
Father Mike
Takes all of our anguish, all of our suffering, all of our experience of a silence from God upon himself. And he makes this cry to the Father, but also with the absolute and certain confidence that he is heard by God. Whatever struggles or suffering you may be facing right now, let's find consolation and hope in Christ's cry to the Father that we know with certainty that God sees us and that he hears us as Jesus died to save us. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Oh, my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of hell and lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy. Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of mercy. Our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor, banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards us and after this our exile. Show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O Clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Pray for us, most Holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Let us pray. O God, whose only begotten Son, by his life, death and resurrection has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life. Grant, we beseech Thee, that meditating upon these mysteries of the most Holy rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise through the same Christ, our Lord. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. All right. Thanks, everyone, for joining me and praying with me today. I look forward to continuing this journey with you again tomorrow.
